Well... I meant it would be more useful that devfs users configure their
system since it would work for other non devfs aware soft. Besides I
don't think that many developers use it...

Which way ?

I cannot say since I do not use devfs at all but the author of the
contributed patch (I don't remember his name) did have a dspW when he
was asked.

Maybe a plain dsp is more "portable" so dspW will probably be replaced
by dsp...
